"Is this where our son plays?" Pamela Bryant in full costume felt a little unreal sitting on the sidelines, the Great Western Forum Arena was full of people, and there was no shortage of stars from all walks of life on the sidelines.

Under the management of the elder Buss, watching the Lakers on the sidelines has become a popular thing for the upper class. There is no shortage of elites from all walks of life, and Hollywood superstars participate.

The Kobe family was sitting on the sidelines, and Joe Sr. and his friends were sitting on the third row, directly behind the Lakers' bench. It's a great viewing position, and it took a lot of effort to get Pelinka the tickets from the team.

Not every team of players will give out such a high level of tickets, which are often worth a lot of money. But after Jerry West learned that it was Kobe Bryant who helped his family ask for tickets, he immediately arranged a good position in the circle.

Old Joe accepted all the compliments of his golfers with a smile, and he could make a face in front of these old friends. After many years away from the professional arena, it is rare for him to come to the sidelines to watch the game again.

The game was played by the Phoenix Suns against the Lakers at the Great Western Forum.

This was O'Neal's first official game since coming to the Lakers, and West specially prepared a welcome ceremony for him. Sir Bass, Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar were all on hand to witness the arrival of the legendary centre-forward.

The youngest of these is Shak O'Neal, who joined the Lakers this year. The Lakers have reciprocated the arrival of the young superstar with plenty of retiring celebrities who have made the Great Western Forum arena noisy.

O'Neal was excited, and the Lakers gave the Magic the respect they didn't give him. He likes the feeling of being starry and holding the moon, and he likes to be in the spotlight. The flags flying over the Lakers and the bigwigs on the sidelines came to congratulate him, which made him overjoyed.

"Not once, not twice. I'm going to bring the next golden era to the Lakers! O'Neill has made his big statements, and he is very happy with the team, the management, the coach and his team-mates. He believes that soon, he will be able to achieve results.

The audience on the sidelines gave a standing ovation, they loved this domineering fat man. Is the post-SHOWTIME era finally coming to an end? Is the Lakers on the verge of a revival?
